%N Triangle T(n,k) = total of number at last index for all set partitions of n into k parts.

%F T(n,k) = (k*(k+1)/2)*S2(n-1,k) + k*S2(n-1,k-1) = 1/2 (S2(n+1,k) + S2(n,k) - S2(n-1,k-2)) = k T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k-1) + S2(n-2,k-2), where S2 is the Stirling numbers of the second kind (A008277).

%e The set partitions of 4 objects into 2 parts are {1,1,1,2}, {1,1,2,1}, {1,1,2,2}, {1,2,1,1}, {1,2,1,2}, {1,2,2,1} and {1,2,2,2}. The last terms of these sum to 2+1+2+1+2+1+2 = 11, so T(4,2) = 11.
